The council said it hopes the move will encourage local businesses and residents to also think about how they could avoid using single-use plastics.

It might also consider publishing advice and information on the matter.

Speaking about this councillor Robinson added: “This reflects the huge environmental concerns that have been expressed in programmes such as Blue Planet and acting on our responsibility to do something about it.

"We want to be an environmentally friendly authority and talk must lead to action. Together we are committed to making a positive difference to the environment in Rushcliffe and we also need our partners to come on board with this.”
